Tuesday - Voter registration in West Bend

A voter registration program will be held at the West Bend High Schools and at the University of Wisconsin-Washington County by members of the West Bend Noon Rotary Club.

The West Bend High Schools program will be on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 25, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the area between the two cafeterias.

The UW-WC program will be on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 30 through Oct. 2, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the theater lobby in the upper level.

For this program, the Rotarians are acting as state registration deputies and will be able to register anyone wanting to register from any voting precinct in Wisconsin. Anyone who is 18 or will be 18 by Nov. 4 may be registered. They will be asked to furnish photo identification with a proper address. If the person has moved, a photo I.D. and utility bill or other evidence of the move with the proper address will have to be presented.

No Pinning. Thanks!

TIMELINE OF ALA'S HIJACKING OF THE WEST BEND LIBRARY

YOUR LIBRARY: NO LONGER A SAFE PLACE

The West Bend Community Memorial Library and members of the SHARE Library System (to include Germantown, Slinger, Hartford and Kewaskum) no longer can be considered SAFE FOR CHILDREN.

Your library board believes:

1. All materials should be available for all ages (anything goes). Really!2. National control cannot (and should not) be resisted; therefore, the disturbing value system of the ALA, OIF,WLA trumps local control of the library by the citizens and taxpayers it serves.3. Young adults are children ages 11 through 17. (Be sure to address your 11 year old in a manner appropos.)4. Assisting parents in identifying sexually explicit materials within your library is not important to them.5. You must stay with your children and read each book he/she checks out to assure they are not entering into the YA Zone, that is, the "Yes to All Zone."6. ..that if other people's young children (even younger than 11....) are openly reading books of a sexually explicit, graphic nature, say nothing...and by all means, don't stop them from checking them out. You, too, can have an 8-year-old snag "The Joy of Sex" off the shelf right here in your very own library!7. ..that porn filters are not required, therefore, none are needed. True loyalty to the many children they serve. After all, we would not want to restrict freedom of speech to those young'uns!8. ...that organizations such as SafeLibraries,PFOX, PABBIS, and Family Friendly Libraries, that work to protect children from being sexually victimized are not welcome in our community.

9. That the excerpts listed below (WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN) are perfectly acceptable for the eyes of children.

This is a propagana battle to ensure children retain access to inappropriate mateial despite the law, common sense and community standards.

PARENTS, TAXPAYERS, CITIZENS OF THE SHARED LIBRARY SYSTEM OF THE WEST BEND COMMUNITY MEMORIAL LIBRARY.......

YOU NO LONGER ARE A TAXPAYING SUPPORTER AND/OR PATRON OF A FAMILY-SAFE LIBRARY.
